Ryan is a Wedding Planner who actually cares, She goes above and beyond!

Ryan is amazing!
My mom found Ryan through the knot for my wedding day. At first I thought we could plan our whole wedding on our own but looking back I'm so grateful we chose Ryan because she made this whole 9 month planning process easier and more convenient for us. She was always in communication with us and responded quickly everytime! If we didn't hear back from her within the same hour we always heard back from her in the same day! Ryan took the pressure off of us in terms of reaching out to our major vendors to setting up appointments to gathering information and next steps. She brought up so many important little details that we would have never thought of had we not worked with Ryan! Ryan was super invested in our planning process she was aware of the vibe and theme we were going for that she never suggested anything that didn't fit for what we wanted. For our rehearsal Ryan took time out of her night to help us with our walk through and was so patient with me and my large and crazy wedding party lol! And on the Day of the wedding, Ryan did basically ALL the running around, picking up, dropping off, and setting up . She truly went above and beyond and we couldn't have had the wedding of our Dreams without her. Her professionalism, personalism, honesty, and attentiveness is UNMATCHED! I highly recommend Ryan if you want your Dream Wedding to actually come true because that's exactly what she commits to and will make sure to stick to the budget you give her. WE LOVE RYAN :D

An absolute life saver!

Ryan was absolutely wonderful to work with. I hired her a few weeks out from my wedding as I had a bad feeling about the staff at my venue and wanted someone on my team (not associated with venue) to ensure things went smoothly. Upon my first call with Ryan, I knew she would be perfect as a day-of-coordinator.

I was right about both my venue (unfortunately), as well as Ryan (thankfully)!

When my venue's planner told me nonchalantly three days before my wedding that she would not be attending, and when at the rehearsal the "stand-in" venue planner had the wrong bride and wedding party on the list in her hands, I would have freaked out. But I knew with Ryan on my side everything would be taken care of. I honestly don't even know half of what Ryan did to ensure the day went smoothly - but that's exactly the point. I had the best day of my life because she took care of all of the issues and roadblocks without me even knowing.

Additionally, both of my matrons of honor were unable to make my wedding last minute (due to Covid). She not only coordinated with the band/MC, venue, etc. to ensure everyone's programs and announcements were up to date, but she also worked with my Dad to help him figure out a way to video in my sister. We didn't end up going that route - but needless to say Ryan was willing to go the extra mile to make everything work in a very tough and upsetting situation.

I highly recommend her for wedding planning or coordinating services!

The best Day of Coordinator

We got married on September 2nd and Ryan was WONDERFUL with helping every step of the way. After reading so many reviews and having phone calls with several other coordinators we went with Ryan initially because I felt we were on the same page as far as my "vision" for my wedding. She is also reasonably priced. From that day on (throughout the course of almost an entire year) She was responsive to all of my emails, well informed without being pushy, and organized. Unlike so many others she helps in advanced and you do not have to wait until the month before for communication! (Idk how anyone's anxiety could cope with only month before responsiveness). She stayed in touch with all of my vendors and gave me more of a precise idea of what needed to be promptly taken care of. On the day of she was organized, pleasant, and new exactly what to do. We cannot recommend her enough!

Beyond satisfied

Ryan was great to work with from the start- super responsive and professional. She helped us find all kinds of great vendors on short notice. She was super detail oriented and organized and answered all of my questions right away. She is extremely knowledgeable of the wedding industry and local vendors. My wedding day went great and there is absolutely no way I could have done it without her! She was flexible and handled last minute changes and issues like a pro. I am so happy I hired Ryan to make my wedding amazing! I would absolutely recommend her to everyone

Highly recommend this vendor!

We had a relatively small but highly detailed vow renewal/wedding and Ryan took care of every nuance and detail. I was confident that everything would be taken care of by Ryan and her assistant.

Book her now

Ryan is the most professional, organized, and personable wedding planner/day-of coordinator I could’ve asked for. She went above and beyond to provide support to me during the planning process, provided stellar recommendations, and I did not have to lift a finger on my wedding day. She ran our rehearsal flawlessly and made sure that every detail on the day itself was well in-hand. If you want to have a stress free day of your dreams, please consider booking her. You’ll be so happy you did!

Shes just the best

From the start, I found Ryan on the knot to help plan my wedding. Since COVID-19 has been around, it was just overwhelming to start and plan a wedding , since my first original planned wedding was cancelled. From the beginning Ryan has been AMAZING ! She is always there for you and super helpful . From visiting venues to the final check list and all the in between. She made my special day stress free. I already have been recommending her to family and friends. Guest at my wedding gave me positive feedback as she was helpful through out the evening. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and again! She will NOT let you down and make sure your day is PERFECT

Hire Ryan for a Stress Free Wedding Day!

We hired Ryan a few months before our wedding and it was a great decision! She was definitely more affordable than any other coordinators we looked into and so thorough. She did a zoom call with us to go over all the details and our vision of the wedding. We then did a walk through at our venue a month before so she knew exactly how we wanted the venue set up. She coordinated with all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding to establish a timeline, and the day of the wedding she was there from 1130am until close at 11pm. She set up our venue with all of our decor and details, helped the vendors set up, made the timeline run smoothly, and packed away many of our valuables the end of the night. She made our wedding totally stress free! I would totally recommend her, she was great to work with.

Excellent Communication & Organization

We chose to hire Ryan based on our comfort with her from our first interaction and because her price was within our budget. We used her as our Day of Coordinator and we are so happy that we did! Our venue was completely DIY and Ryan helped us to organize our vendors, worked on the timeline and made sure everything stayed on track the day of the wedding. She was so responsive with any little questions we had leading up to our day and helped us have peace of mind that we were making the right decisions. The day of the wedding, anytime we reached out to her, she was very quick to respond. She set up all of our decorations and helped to make the space look exactly as we wanted. She made sure everything stayed on track and that our reception ran smoothly. She even provided us with photos after the wedding that she took while we wait for our photographer! Our day was absolutely perfect and we're so happy we hired Ryan! We'd definitely recommend her to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
